Buy Union SG tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are following one of the great revival stories in European football. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise play their Belgian Pro League home games at Stade Joseph Marien, a 1919 ground with a protected Art Deco façade in the Duden Park in Forest, on the south side of Brussels. Twelve-time champions of Belgium, they spent 48 years outside the top flight before returning in 2021, and the 2026/27 campaign brings Europa League football alongside a domestic season with no play-offs.

This guide covers what you will pay, where to sit, how the club's ticketing works, why European home games are played away from the Marien and how a club founded in 1897 became the Old Lady of Belgian football. It is written to stay useful from the first league weekend in August to the final round in May.
Union sell tickets through the club's online ticketing platform and the fanshop on the Chaussée de Bruxelles. The order is strict. Season ticket holders are served first, then Union+ members, who receive a set allocation for each league game, and only then fans with a purchase history or the general public. Accounts have to be verified each year, and the name on a ticket can be checked against ID at the gate.
In a ground of around 9,000, that sequence leaves little for casual buyers. Season ticket demand has risen sharply since the 2025 title, and for the visits of Club Brugge, Anderlecht or Standard Liège the club allocation can be gone before general sale opens. European nights add another layer, with a separate four-match package for the home league-phase games and venues that change from season to season.
A secondary marketplace gives you another way to compare options when those windows close. Listings on 1BoxOffice show the stand, the number of seats and the delivery method before you pay, which helps visitors plan a trip to Brussels around a fixture rather than around a release time.
1BoxOffice has sold football tickets since 2006 and works with a network of verified sellers across Europe and the Gulf. Every listing sets out the stand or category, how many seats are available together and how and when the tickets will be delivered.
The marketplace is built for fans who cannot rely on a club presale or membership window. If something goes wrong, the guarantee is defined in the terms and conditions.
Union's following has grown well beyond Saint-Gilles and Forest since the return to the top flight. The revival has drawn new supporters from across Brussels and attention from neutrals abroad, attracted by the old ground, the standing terrace and a team that has competed for the title almost every season since promotion.
Several factors push demand higher at particular points of the season. Knowing which apply to your match helps you judge how early to buy.
The calendar shapes demand as well. The 2026/27 Pro League runs from August to late May with 18 clubs playing each other home and away, the first season in 17 years without play-offs, and a winter break from late December to mid-January. The bottom two are relegated. The Europa League league phase runs from September to the end of January, with the top eight going straight to the last 16 and the clubs placed ninth to 24th entering a knockout play-off in February. A Thursday European game is usually followed by a league match at the weekend, which can make a two-match trip to Belgium possible.
The practical lesson is simple. For the visits of Club Brugge and Anderlecht and the final weeks of the season, buy as soon as your dates are fixed. For mid-table league games there is usually more room to compare listings.
Club face values at Union are modest by the standards of Europe's bigger leagues. A 2026/27 adult season ticket on the East or North stand costs EUR 250 for 17 league home games, and European league-phase tickets in the four-match package work out at between EUR 24 and EUR 56 per adult per game, depending on the category. Resale prices reflect how scarce seats are for the big occasions rather than the original price.
Inside the ground, the covered West stand on the long side carries the highest prices outside hospitality, while the uncovered East and North stands share the lower price band. The East stand is a standing terrace built for singing, so choose it for atmosphere rather than a view of every touch.
Timing matters too. Pro League kick-off times are confirmed in blocks by the league, and European dates and venues by UEFA, so check the confirmed time and ground before booking travel. The table below gives typical resale ranges across the season.
Belgian Cup ties show how low face values can go. For an early-round cup game against Zulte Waregem the club charged between EUR 5 and EUR 10, and early rounds rarely sell out. Prices rise as the competition goes on, and a semi-final or a final at the King Baudouin Stadium draws far bigger demand.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Pro League (standard fixtures) | £40 – £100 |
| Pro League (Club Brugge, Anderlecht, Standard, Gent) | £70 – £180 |
| Belgian Cup | £20 – £80 |
| Europa League home fixtures | £50 – £180+ |
| Hospitality and business seats | £150 – £450+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
For some matches, yes. There is a general sale for league games, and a basic account on the club's ticketing platform is enough to join it. The catch is the order of sale: season ticket holders and Union+ members are served first, and for the most popular fixtures there may be little or nothing left by the time general sale opens.
The club also controls how tickets move between fans. Resale is handled through the club's own platform, with a cut-off before kick-off, and season ticket holders who cannot attend are expected to pass their seat on through the club's system. Accounts are verified once a season, and stewards can check that the name on a ticket matches the holder's ID.
The details are worth knowing. Each season the club asks ticketing account holders to verify their identity again, through the Belgian itsme app or an online identity check, before buying. Union+ members receive an allocation of around 1,000 tickets for each league game once season ticket holders have been served, and for the 2025/26 season the club allowed resale through its own platform until 72 hours before kick-off, with a ticket transfer option up to two hours before. Away tickets are typically sold as vouchers to exchange at the fanshop.
That is why buyers compare Union SG tickets across more than one channel, and why any listing for a match at the Marien should be read carefully for the name details that will appear on the ticket. Belgian law also sets limits on how tickets for events may be resold, so the delivery method and conditions shown on each listing matter.
Union's 2026/27 season ticket covers all 17 Pro League home games, with Belgian Cup and European fixtures sold separately. Renewals ran through June 2026, and holders are expected to attend at least 13 matches or pass their seat on, a rule designed to keep the small ground full on every matchday.
The figures below are the club's published 2026/27 season ticket prices for the East and North stands, with approximate sterling conversions.
| Category (East and North stands) | 2026/27 Price | Approx. GBP |
|---|---|---|
| Adult | EUR 250 | £210 |
| Senior | EUR 200 | £170 |
| Student | EUR 155 | £130 |
| Child | EUR 75 | £63 |
| Europa League package (per adult per match) | EUR 24 – EUR 56 | £20 – £47 |
Season tickets are personal and tied to a verified account, so they are not something a visitor can pick up for a single match. Converted figures move with the exchange rate.
Stade Joseph Marien is a traditional ground, with stands close to the pitch and a mix of seating and standing. The covered West stand runs along one long side and is the main stand, home to the dugouts, the premium seats and the wheelchair area reached through Entrance 2. Opposite, the uncovered East stand is a standing terrace and the home of the Union Bhoys, the club's best-known supporters' group. The North stand behind one goal offers uncovered seating, and visiting supporters are housed in a segregated section set by the club for each match.
The guide below shows how each part of the ground tends to suit different kinds of fan.
| Stand / Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| West stand (central) | The best sideline view and cover from the rain | Premium | The main stand beside the dugouts; among the most requested seats for big games |
| West stand (outer blocks) | Covered seating at a lower price | Mid-range | A good compromise for first-time visitors and families |
| East stand (terrace) | The loudest atmosphere in the ground | Lower-priced | Uncovered standing with the Union Bhoys; bring a rain jacket |
| North stand | Seated view from behind the goal | Lower-priced | Uncovered seats; good value for league games |
| Wheelchair area | Wheelchair users and companions | Standard | In the West stand via Entrance 2; booked through the club with a Fan ID |
| Business seats and hospitality | Padded seats with food and drink | Top | Limited capacity; availability varies by match |
Because the ground is compact, there are few genuinely poor views. The main trade-off is shelter. Only the West stand is covered, so in autumn and winter a seat there is worth the extra cost for many visitors, while the East terrace is the place to be if you want to sing with the home end whatever the weather. For a first visit, a West stand seat near the halfway line gives the clearest picture of both the football and the crowd. For a league game with friends, the North stand is good value, and families usually prefer the outer West blocks to the terrace.
Home and away supporters are kept apart, and stewards can refuse entry to fans wearing away colours in home areas. Neutrals sitting among Union supporters should leave visiting shirts at the hotel.
Away travel in Belgium is short by European standards. The longest Pro League trips from Brussels, to Lommel or Genk, take around two hours by road or rail, so most supporters travel on the day. Away tickets for league games are sold by Union to its own supporters, usually as vouchers to exchange at the fanshop, with the allocation set by the home club.
European away trips follow UEFA's rules. The host club issues an allocation to Union, which sells it through its own priority system, and for headline trips the allocation is small compared with the number of supporters who want to go.
| Topic | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Pro League away allocation | Sold by Union to its own supporters; size set by the home club |
| Ticket format | Away tickets are often issued as vouchers exchanged at the Union fanshop before the trip |
| Europa League away allocation | Issued by the host club under UEFA rules and sold through Union's priority system |
| Travel times | Most Belgian away grounds are within two hours of Brussels by train or coach |
| Kick-off changes | League fixtures can move for television or European commitments; confirm before booking travel |
Belgium's rail network makes most league away days simple from Brussels. Trains to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Liège, Mechelen and Leuven run frequently from the city's main stations, and many grounds are within reach of a local station or a short bus ride. Kick-off times can be set late in the evening for television, so check the last train home before you commit to a midweek trip, especially to grounds further from the capital such as Lommel or Genk.
The 2026/27 Europa League adds longer trips to Vigo, Lyon and Istanbul. For these, neutral visitors usually find it easier to buy in home sections where the host club's rules allow it, without wearing Union colours.
The right seat depends on what you want from the day. A group chasing the noise and a family on a city break will want very different parts of the ground. For European home games at other venues the host stadium's layout applies, so the table below refers to the Marien only.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | East stand terrace | The Union Bhoys lead the singing from here, standing in front of the park |
| Best view | West stand, central blocks | A covered sideline angle shows the whole pitch and the terrace opposite |
| Family-friendly | West stand, outer blocks | Seated, covered and calmer than the terrace |
| Premium experience | Business seats in the main stand | Padded seats, catering and central views |
| Lower-priced option | North stand | Affordable seats with a direct view down the pitch |
Union have played at the Marien since it opened on 14 September 1919 with a friendly against AC Milan. The ground sits on the edge of the Duden Park in Forest, just over the boundary from Saint-Gilles, the commune that gave the club its name. More than a century later it is still Union's only home ground for domestic football.
Its signature feature faces the street. In 1926 the architect Albert Callewaert designed a 101.4-metre Art Deco façade with bas-reliefs by the sculptor Oscar De Clercq, and it is now on the list of protected monuments in Forest. It gives the Chaussée de Bruxelles entrance a look quite unlike any modern stadium.
The ground behind the façade is small and intimate. Capacity is usually given at around 9,000, with sources quoting figures from just over 8,000 to about 9,400 depending on the configuration. The terrace and the open ends mean the crowd is close to the play and exposed to the Brussels weather, which supporters treat as part of the charm.
That charm comes with limits. The Marien does not meet UEFA's requirements for European competition, so Union play their European home games elsewhere. In 2022/23 and again for the 2026/27 Europa League league phase the club has used Den Dreef in Leuven, the 2025/26 Champions League games were played at Anderlecht's ground and a 2026 qualifier was staged in Ostend. Security decisions can also move a European game at short notice, so always check the confirmed venue on the listing before you travel.
For supporters, the European arrangement means a short trip. Leuven is around half an hour from Brussels by train, and Den Dreef is a short bus ride or walk from Leuven station, so most fans travel on the day. The club sells a four-match package for the home league-phase games, priced by category from EUR 24 to EUR 56 per adult per game, with children's tickets from EUR 16, and any remaining seats go on single-match sale. Because the host venue sets its own entry rules and seating layout, the stand names and gate information for these games differ from the Marien, and listings set out the details for each match.
A long-term solution is in the planning system. Union have proposed a new stadium of 15,881 seats at the Bempt site, about two and a half kilometres south in Forest, built to UEFA standards. The project received a favourable opinion with conditions from the planning commission in July 2026, but permits, land and possible appeals are still to be settled, so the Marien remains the club's home for the 2026/27 season and beyond.
Getting to the Marien is easy by public transport. Tram 82, which serves Brussels-Midi station, stops at Châtaignes and Union, close to the ground, and trams 3 and 4 run to Albert, a short walk away. Buses 48, 52 and 54 serve the area, and Forest-Est railway station is about 15 minutes on foot. Drivers can use the free park-and-ride at Stalle and continue on tram 4.
The neighbouring streets of Forest and Saint-Gilles have bars and cafés within walking distance, and on matchdays yellow and blue shirts fill the area around the park. The Union fanshop, at the same address as the ground, is also where away vouchers are exchanged and where many local fans buy their tickets in person.
Hospitality at the Marien is limited by the size and age of the ground. Business seating and corporate packages, where available, are based in the main West stand, and capacity is small, so premium places for the visits of Club Brugge or Anderlecht are often committed well before matchday.
European home games at other venues come with their own hospitality offers, set by the host stadium. Listings on 1BoxOffice set out exactly what is included and where before you pay.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Premium West stand seat | Central covered seat on the main side | £80 – £200 |
| Business seat | Padded seat with catering | £150 – £350+ |
| Corporate group package | Group seating with hosted catering | Priced per group and match on request |
| Europa League hospitality | Premium seating at the host venue for European home games | £200 – £450+ |
Hospitality prices vary more than standard seats and may change as availability shifts.
Ordering on 1BoxOffice takes a few minutes once you have chosen a match. The process is the same for a Pro League afternoon at the Marien and a Europa League trip abroad.
Step1
Find the match
Open the fixture you want from the search bar or the fixture lists at the end of this guide. Each event shows the competition, venue and kick-off time once confirmed.
Step2
Register or sign in
Create your account with the 1BoxOffice register form so your order, delivery updates and contact details stay in one place. Returning customers simply sign in.
Step3
Choose your stand
Compare listings by stand, price and the number of seats together. Listing notes explain whether a ticket is seated or standing and whether name details are needed to issue it.
Step4
Check your order
Confirm the match, date, venue, stand, quantity, delivery method and total price, including fees. For European home games, double-check the venue, as Union play these away from the Marien.
Step5
Pay securely
Complete payment in your preferred currency through the secure checkout. Your order is covered by the 150% money-back guarantee set out in the terms and conditions.
Step6
Follow delivery
A confirmation email arrives straight away, and you can track order progress from your account until your tickets arrive.
Mobile tickets for Belgian fixtures are often issued close to matchday, so a delivery date near kick-off is normal rather than a sign of a problem.
Some Union games sell through far faster than others. These are the matches where waiting usually costs money or a seat.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Club Brugge | The main title rival of recent seasons, and the opponent in two Super Cup wins. With no play-offs in 2026/27, both league meetings can shape the title race. |
| Anderlecht | A Brussels derby with fresh history after Union's extra-time win in the 2026 cup final. |
| Standard Liège and Gent | Big clubs with large followings, and Gent were the opponents on the day Union clinched the 2025 title. |
| Europa League home nights | A four-match package and visiting supporters take a large share of seats at the host venue before general sale. |
| Final-month fixtures | In a straight 34-round season, late games with the title or European places at stake can sell out regardless of the opponent. |
The European fixtures each have their own pull. Celtic bring a large travelling support wherever they go, so their visit to Den Dreef in January is likely to stretch the available seats, while Lech Poznań also travel well. Security decisions can also limit attendance: the home league-phase game against Hapoel Be'er Sheva was switched to Düsseldorf behind closed doors after venues in Belgium were ruled out, which is a reminder to check the status of any European fixture before booking travel.
The delivery method depends on the competition and how the seller holds the seats. It is always shown on the listing before you pay.
Because the club can check names against ID, read the listing notes and your confirmation email carefully and contact customer support straight away if any detail does not match.
Entry at the Marien is usually straightforward, but a little preparation saves time in the queue on big days.
The ground is small, so queues can build quickly for the visits of Club Brugge and Anderlecht. Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes before kick-off, and longer for European games at unfamiliar venues, where security checks can take more time. The terrace is in full voice well before the teams come out.
Bring photo ID that matches the name on your ticket, as stewards can carry out checks. Have your mobile ticket ready on a charged phone with the screen brightness turned up, and save it offline in case the signal drops near the park.
Travel light. Large bags may be refused, so leave luggage at your hotel rather than relying on storage at the ground. Pyrotechnics, glass and dangerous objects are prohibited, and European fixtures usually apply stricter checks than league games.
European home games follow the host venue's procedures rather than the Marien's. Expect UEFA-standard security, with bag searches and ID checks, and allow extra time to reach an unfamiliar ground. The gate and seating information on your ticket applies to that stadium, so read it before you set off.

Few clubs anywhere have a history shaped like Union's. Dominant in the early years of Belgian football and unbeaten for a record 60 league games in the 1930s, the club then spent almost half a century outside the top flight before a revival that brought a 12th league title in 2025. Matricule 10 marks it as one of the oldest clubs in the country, and the nickname La Vieille Dame, the Old Lady, reflects that heritage.
Matricule 10 reflects the order in which Belgian clubs registered with the national federation, and it places Union among the oldest clubs in the country. The club has also been known over the years as Les Apaches, alongside L'Union and Les Unionistes.
Before the First World War Union were the strongest club in Belgium, winning seven titles in ten seasons and the first two editions of the Belgian Cup. Gustave Vanderstappen's 30 goals in 1903/04 and Vertongen's 36 six years later were among the scoring feats of an era when Brussels was the centre of Belgian football. The move to the Marien in 1919 gave the club a permanent home, and the eighth title followed in 1922/23, with Achille Meyskens scoring 24.
Between January 1933 and February 1935 Union played 60 league games without defeat, winning 44 and drawing 16 and scoring 203 goals. The run, led by captain Jules Pappaert and powered by goals from Vital Van Landeghem, who scored 29 in 1933/34, gave the club its enduring nickname, Union 60. Fittingly, it was ended by Daring, Union's great Brussels rival, and the record still stands as a landmark in Belgian football.
The decline was long and painful. After the 1935 title Union did not win another major trophy for almost 90 years, and relegation in 1963 began a spell of yo-yoing that ended with the club dropping out of the top flight in 1973. By the early 1980s Union were in the fourth tier, and for much of the next 40 years the Marien hosted lower-division football in front of a loyal but small crowd. Yet the name, the ground and the yellow and blue survived. The arrival of new investors in 2018, led by Tony Bloom, changed the club's trajectory.
Ownership changed the club's direction. Tony Bloom, the owner of Brighton & Hove Albion, became majority shareholder in 2018, and Alex Muzio took over as majority owner in 2023. In those years Union built squads around players recruited from smaller leagues, and a run of them, including Deniz Undav, Victor Boniface and Mohamed Amoura, later moved on to bigger clubs.
Under Felice Mazzù, Union won the second tier in 2020/21 and then topped the regular season at the first attempt back in the top flight, with 77 points and Deniz Undav finishing as the league's top scorer and Player of the Year, while Mazzù was named Coach of the Year. Brugge edged them in the play-offs, a pattern that would repeat, but Union had arrived. Karel Geraerts and Alexander Blessin kept the team near the top, and in 2022/23 Union reached the Europa League quarter-finals before losing to Bayer Leverkusen. The breakthrough came under Sébastien Pocognoli in 2024/25: third after the regular season, Union won nine and drew one of their ten play-off games, sealing the title with a 3-1 home win over Gent on 25 May 2025. A first Champions League league phase followed, with away wins at PSV and Galatasaray and a home win over Atalanta, and in May 2026 a fourth Belgian Cup was won against Anderlecht.
Europe has been a steep learning curve along the way. In 2022/23 Union lost a Champions League qualifier to Rangers before winning a Europa League group that included Braga, Malmö and Union Berlin. In 2023/24 they beat Liverpool in the group stage, dropped into the Conference League and knocked out Eintracht Frankfurt before Fenerbahçe ended the run. The title season brought defeat to Slavia Prague in Champions League qualifying and a Europa League knockout play-off against Ajax, lost 3-2 on aggregate. Each campaign added experience, and by 2025/26 Union were playing Inter, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid in the Champions League.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maurice Vertongen | Forward | The goalscorer of Union's first golden era, part of the side that dominated Belgian football before the First World War. | 36 league goals in 1909/10 |
| Jules Pappaert | Captain | Captain of the Union 60 side and one of the defining figures of the 1930s. He won four caps for Belgium. | 176 top-flight games; three titles in a row (1933 to 1935) |
| Vital Van Landeghem | Forward | The leading scorer of the unbeaten era, whose goals turned a strong side into a record-breaking one. | 29 league goals in 1933/34 |
| Deniz Undav | Striker | The face of Union's return to the top flight, scoring freely in the first season back before a move to Brighton. | 26 league goals in 2021/22; Pro League Player of the Year 2022 |
| Teddy Teuma | Midfielder and captain | The Maltese midfielder drove the team from the second tier to the Europa League quarter-finals and captained the side. | 148 appearances and 26 goals (2019 to 2023) |
| Anthony Moris | Goalkeeper | A constant presence in goal from the promotion season to the 2025 title. | 232 appearances and 81 clean sheets (2020 to 2025) |
| Promise David | Striker | The leading scorer of the title-winning season, with goals in the decisive play-off run including two against Gent on the day the title was won. | 24 goals in all competitions in 2024/25 |
The revival years produced a run of forwards who moved on to bigger leagues. Dante Vanzeir shared the second-tier scoring title with 29 goals in the promotion season, Mohamed Amoura scored 25 in all competitions in 2023/24 and Victor Boniface also passed through the club. Christian Burgess, a defensive mainstay for six seasons, left in 2026 after playing a full part in the title and the cup wins.
Union's honours list is heavily weighted towards the early 20th century, but the revival has added a title, two cups and two Super Cups since 2024.
The recent trophies came in quick succession. The 2024 Belgian Cup final was won 1-0 against Antwerp, ending a 90-year wait for major silverware, and the Super Cup against Club Brugge followed that summer. In May 2026 Union beat Anderlecht 3-1 after extra time at the King Baudouin Stadium to lift the cup again, with Kevin Mac Allister, Fuseini and Kevin Rodriguez among the scorers, and on 31 July 2026 they won a second Super Cup in Bruges, drawing 1-1 with Club Brugge and winning the shoot-out 5-4.
| Competition | Titles | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Belgian champions | 12 | 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1909, 1910, 1913, 1923, 1933, 1934, 1935, 2025 |
| Belgian Cup | 4 | 1913, 1914, 2024, 2026 |
| Belgian Super Cup | 2 | 2024, 2026 |
| Second-tier champions | 4 | 1901, 1951, 1964, 2021 |
Union's best European run is the 2022/23 Europa League quarter-final, and the 2025/26 season brought the club's first appearance in the Champions League league phase.
Union's rivalries are rooted in Brussels. The oldest is with the club that ended Union 60, while the modern edge comes from the battles for the title with Club Brugge.
The derby de la Zwanze, named after the Brussels dialect and sense of humour, was originally contested with Daring Club de Bruxelles, the side that ended Union's 60-match run in 1935. Daring's heritage now lives on in RWDM, and the fixture keeps its name and its local pride whenever the two clubs share a division, as they did when Union clinched promotion against RWDM in March 2021.
Anderlecht are Belgium's most decorated club and Union's closest neighbour in the top flight. Relations between the two sets of supporters are described as fairly cordial, but the 2026 Belgian Cup final, won 3-1 by Union after extra time, gave the meeting a new competitive edge.
Club Brugge are the rival of the revival era. They pipped Union in the play-offs in 2022, 2024 and 2026, while Union beat them in the Super Cup in 2024 and on penalties in 2026. Without play-offs in 2026/27, the two league meetings may weigh even more heavily on the title race.
Not every Belgian fixture is hostile. Union supporters have long-standing friendly relations with those of Cercle Brugge, RFC Liège and Antwerp, so meetings with these clubs tend to be lively rather than tense. They still count for plenty on the pitch, as the 2024 cup final win over Antwerp showed.
The 2022/23 Europa League brought a meeting of the two Unions. After facing each other in the group stage, Union Saint-Gilloise beat their German namesakes 6-3 on aggregate in the last 16 to reach the quarter-finals, the furthest the club has gone in Europe.
In the 2023/24 Europa League group stage Union beat Liverpool 2-1, one of the best-known results of the revival. The win announced the club to a wider audience and showed the team could compete with Europe's biggest names.
These are the campaigns that define Union's story, from the first great side of the 1900s to the title-winning team of the revival.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 1903/04 to 1906/07 | Four league titles in a row established Union as Belgium's leading club. Gustave Vanderstappen scored 30 goals in the first of them. Three more titles followed before the First World War. |
| 1932/33 to 1934/35 | Three straight titles and the 60-match unbeaten run that gave the club the name Union 60. Captain Jules Pappaert led a side that scored 203 goals in those 60 games. The run ended against Daring in February 1935. |
| 2020/21 | Second-tier champions with 70 points under Felice Mazzù, sealing promotion against RWDM in March 2021. Dante Vanzeir shared the division's scoring title with 29 goals. It ended 48 years outside the top flight. |
| 2022/23 | Union won their Europa League group, beat Union Berlin 6-3 on aggregate in the last 16 and reached the quarter-finals. Bayer Leverkusen ended the run. It remains the club's best European campaign. |
| 2024/25 | A 12th league title, the first since 1935, under Sébastien Pocognoli. Third after the regular season, Union lost none of their ten play-off games. The title was sealed with a 3-1 home win over Gent on 25 May 2025. |
| 2025/26 | A first Champions League league phase, including wins at PSV and Galatasaray. Union topped the regular season before finishing second in the play-offs. They also won the Belgian Cup against Anderlecht after extra time. |
Some of Union's records date back almost a century, while others were set during the revival. These are the figures supporters quote most often.
| Record | Holder | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Longest unbeaten league run | Union 60 side (1933 to 1935) | 60 games: 44 wins, 16 draws |

Stade Joseph Marien does not meet UEFA requirements, so Union stage European home games at other grounds. For the 2026/27 Europa League league phase the club has used Den Dreef in Leuven, and security decisions can move a match elsewhere, so always check the venue on the listing.
Take tram 82 from Brussels-Midi to the Châtaignes or Union stops beside the Duden Park. Trams 3 and 4 to Albert and the train to Forest-Est, about 15 minutes' walk away, are good alternatives.
Season ticket holders and Union+ members take most of a ground of around 9,000 before general sale, and these fixtures draw some of the highest demand of the season. Resale prices reflect that scarcity rather than the club's modest face values.
Delivery depends on when the club releases mobile tickets to the seller, which can be in the final days before kick-off. The expected delivery window appears on every listing and your account shows progress at each stage.
